A must for every Key West collection!

--David Sloan, author, producer, & publisher of Phantom Press

This Key West coffee table book is a handsome, linen-bound volume with thirty full-color paintings by a local artist paired with twelve short stories inspired by the continental US's southernmost point.

A new Southern voice, Vicki Riley captures the essence of Key West with prodigious prose, vivid characters, and provocative stories. Weaving fictional people and real places, Riley's story collection explores themes of LGBTQ, boundaries, betrayal, breaking points, love, loss, guilt, grief, redemption, and hope. Vibrant paintings by Linda Cabrera complement the stories, creating a cherished keepsake and conversation piece.

The bold fusion of genres creates an enticing experience for readers who may find themselves imagining what it would be like living at the end of the road on the two-by-four-mile Cayo Hueso (or Bone Island), referring to the bones of the Calusa who once lived in the Keys.
